Well its beach time again! This I hope will be decidedly better than last years tragic trip. Its hard to believe John has been dead for a year. How time does fly.
Ok, so as not to get on a morose line of thinking, I'm looking forward to this trip more than i ever have. Im not sure if its the job or what, but I need this vacation, and Im going to do my best not to let s few recent family irritations get in my way.
Also, Ive cleared 5 months of working out, 2 1/2 of which have included the upper and lower body work was well. Im really feeling great about it and have decided that Im just going to have to MAKE myself cut out food items when I get back from vacation.
It is extremely frustrating to know that what im doing in a "normal" person would be making them lose weight, and that Im going to have to really sacrifice some serious grub in order to make it happen for me. Yes, extremely frustrating indeed.
That being said, I'm still not going to go overboard, but I would like to see some results other than the 20 ish lbs Ive managed to lose and keep off since I started this back in April.
I feel stronger. I know that Ive gained stamana and muscle tone, although under the layers its hard to tell. I also know that muscle helps to burn fat, so hopefully in 3 more months I'll start to see some results.
I think the biggest point for me right now is that I'm doing it. Not since 2001 have I kept up working out this consistently, and I'm damn proud of myself. Even if no one believes me because I'm not showing it. Screw em.
This is for ME!
